The Wall Street Journal reported that Walmart and Amazon, two of the largest retail companies in the United States, are considering launching their own stablecoins linked to the US dollar. This move comes amid ongoing efforts to simplify payment systems, reduce operational costs, and limit reliance on traditional banking infrastructure.

According to the published report, this direction could lead to a radical shift in how millions of daily transactions are processed by integrating blockchain technology to provide faster and more efficient financial flows. Other major companies exploring similar steps

The interest in stablecoins is not limited to Walmart and Amazon, as sources indicate that other major companies such as Expedia Group and some American airlines are exploring similar initiatives, reinforcing the overall trend towards the use of stable digital currencies as a practical alternative to traditional financial systems.

Amazon, which recently declined to join companies holding Bitcoin in their reserves like Microsoft and Meta, appears more inclined to adopt stablecoins, given their stability and ease of integration into payment systems compared to volatile crypto assets.
